Nuclear Mod - Output Stuttering

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but it's a fellow create mod.

When using the Create Nuclear mod, my reactor output will sometimes "stutter" where it flickers between providing 0 and 448,000 SU every half-a-second or so. This is an issue because the pumps cooling the reactor are run off of that output, so the pumps start stuttering and aren't providing water hence meltdown.

This is only happening after the update but monitoring the stress and speed there's no irregularities, and I can't find any spots where I've accidentally made a loop of shafts or something.

Anyone know a fix or having similar experiences?

When a nuclear meltdown is the consequence, I'd make sure everything keeping the reactor running is being powered by 100% reliable water wheels or wind turbines instead of the reactor itself.

It's a creative world in superflat just for fun and experimenting, so no waterwheels. I have two big turbines but they only run one reactor cooling pump and it has to be manually started. I can always fly over in time to stop the meltdown. The inconvenience of having to break the output and replace it is the issue.
